Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin found in fruits and vegetables, including oranges, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes and green peppers. Vitamin C is easily destroyed by excessive heat and water, as well as exposure to air. Vitamin D, A and K are not destroyed on heating.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin C can be destroyed by heat and light. High-heat cooking temperatures or prolonged cook times can break down the vitamin. Because it is water-soluble, the vitamin can also seep into cooking liquid and be lost if the liquids are not eaten.
Detailed explanation-3: -Other nutrients and heat Vitamin C, thiamine (B1) and pantothenic acid are all “sensitive” or “highly sensitive” to damage by heat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vitamin K is stable at room temperature. It doesn’t need to be refrigerated. It isn’t destroyed by cooking. But light can cause some loss of effects.
